Ahead of this Saturday's fight for the WBC junior flyweight title, former champion Edgar Sosa has warned Omar Nino to watch out for the intentional head clashes by the champion, Rodel Mayol. Sosa lost his title to Mayol last November in two rounds. There was a bad clash of heads in the second round that split open the side of Sosa's face and sent him down. He never recovered and was stopped within a few moments.

Sosa needed surgery to repair several fractures on his face from the head clash. He is still recovering and plans to return to boxing very soon. He later filed a protest to overturn the TKO decision but lost.

Sosa wants Nino to bring the title back to Mexico.

"I wish him well. As a Mexican, I'd like for Nino to regain the title for Mexico, I hope he does," said Sosa to ESTO. "Mayol did not beat me and the whole world saw it on television. I felt disgust at the way they took the championship from me. If Mayol wins, I hope he does it in an honest and clean way"

"[Nino] has to always stay at a distance and keep moving, side to side, which he's good at. Do not enter from the front so Mayol's head can not hurt you. Mayol has a history of hurting a lot of opponents with his head, like [Ivan] Calderon, who was cut in two fights on his head, and they could not have been accidental. He has a history of being a dirty fighter."
